I was put on escitalopram for depression and it wasn't that I couldn't sleep, I was sleeping 14 hours a day! Nausea and diarrhea while i was on it and yes dizzy and disoriented BUT after 5 weeks on it I tapered back on the dose and now am off it and my sleep pattern is normal. Well normal apart from hot flushes every time I stir in bed. You just get used to it. I have a fan going, yes even in winter and have a doona which is easy to flick on and off. It doesn't seem to kill you if you fall back asleep with the doona off and wake up near frozen, just pull the doona back on and back to sleep you go lol.
